Episode 14: FASD Hope with Natalie Vecchione

My talk with Natalie was so enlightening and informative. I hadn't heard of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) until my conversation with her. FASD is the leading cause of developmental disability in North America.
FASD is a complex, lifelong neurodevelopmental disability caused by Prenatal Alcohol Exposure (PAE) to the developing brain and body of an unborn child. The disabilities caused by this exposure fall under the umbrella of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). FASD is a brain-based, whole body disorder with behavioral symptoms, resulting in a broad range of cognitive, behavioral, social-emotional, health, adaptive functioning and learning deficits. These issues last across the lifespan.
Natalie and her husband, John, are the founders of FASD Hope. Visit their website at https://www.fasdhope.com/.
